ExtUSB - How it knows that a headset is plugged in? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi,
I just bought an active Brodit Carholder with a 1-to-3 adapter, but I dont want to use (for now) the 3.5 mm connector for sound. The problem is, that my Diamond thinks that a Headset is connected, while plugged in, no matter if a headset is connected or not (3,5mm or ExtUSB). So I cant hear my Navigation Program...
Has anyone an idea how to "say" my Diamond to use its own speaker while plugged in (I'd prefer the Hardware-method, like connecting some contacts inside the 1-to-3 adapter).

Brodit Issue!!!
Same problem here!!! Can anybody help us out? So many smart people here, this problem should be an easy one (I would guess)
Thanks in advance!!!

I've the same Problem! Is there any answer?

go to registry
HKLM/System/State/Hardware/Headset
check its value when connected and when disconnected....
it must be "0".

Brodit Issue
Does this mean that I need to set it everytime when I put my Diamond in the Brodit car holder? There must be an easy way.......
But thanks anyway, let me try

Thanks, but I'd prefer a hardware method like cutting a cable/bridging two etc... so I don't have to set this registry value everytime i put my diamond into the carholder..

There must be an easy way thats right!
It don't work if i change the registry, when die headset is connected,
the value changes to 1 but when i change it to 0 nothing happens!!

Brodit problem
Has nobody got a solution for this problem? So many smart people up here...
PLEASE HELP
Thanks guys!!!

Hello, got also this problem i'm using the touch Pro, can anyone help me?
when my phone is in the Brobit carkit it thinks that my headset is connected.
So when I receive a call the sound of the conversation is over my car speakers, but there is nog mic.....
Anyone with a solution?

Any News on this?
Thanks!!

The only extUSB cable that worked well for me is the YC-A300 cable. It only sends out the sound if the headphones are plugged in, otherwise the sound comes from the Diamond speaker. It also enables the Diamond's built-in mic even if the headphones are connected.

No-one here can even be expected to help you with this problem. You were given the only solution available from the phone's end. So what makes you think that someone can give you a better answer. Most of the people here are phone modders, not accessory modders. And everything here has to do with SOFTWARE modding. You want hardware modding, & that isn't happening here. Besides yous guys are probably the only ones here that even have that holder. So you can try looking for a site that has forums developed around the holder that you have. Or, you can try to find a service manual on the holder & see if there is a schematical routing of the wires.
You shoud not have to bridge any of the wires though. It should just be a matter of diconnecting wire(s).
If I understand !nVisible correctly, you only want the charge capability, & nothing else. If so, then here is a possible "hardware" fix.
First make sure that all the wires are color coded.
Cut ALL the wires.
If there is only one black wire then reattach it first. (if possible, don't cut this one at all) {This should be ground -}
Connect the plug into your phone. {Be sure holder's power is plugged in}
Reattach & detach the wires one-by-one until the charge light is activated. {if the charge doesn't activate then disconnect that wire again} {Start with Red, then orange, then variatons of red (red is usually the positive +}
Or, try this:
Attach the plug into your phone whilst holder is powered. {if the holder is activating the headset, then you should see a headset icon in the startbar.}
Cut each wire one-by-one until you deactivate the headset icon. {reattaching the wires that don't deactivate.}
start with blues & greens {if present}
Remember; Black is most always ground, & red {or a variation of} is usually positive.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I personally would do it this way {if no other solutions existed}; but I've been working on electronics since I was a child {& I went to electronics school }
If you $&%* it up It's on you NOT me!

HTC Diamond headphones autodial problem

I have an wierd problem in my htc touch diamond.
Everytime i connect the headphones it tries to autodial a name in my contacts list.
And if i connect the radio it doest it nonstop... i heard the "bip" and then its like if it wanted to dial a name...
It sounds strange..but it is like that.
hope somenone knows what im talking about cause im gettting nuts...
Spanish original vodafone rom, not that many programs installed, although started doing it after installing thumbcal and pocketmax alarm today.. although I dont think that is the problem since i restored with spb backap a 1 month ago backup i made and still same headphones problem.
Have checked the headphone button.. and it seems to be ok (at first I though if maybe was stuck..)
Got the same problem. Did anyone know how to solve it?
sounds to me like a faulty headset. Try to connect a different set of headphones and see if it acts the same way.
I got same problem
Hi, your problem solved? my HTC diamond got the same problem, so irritating.
I have the same problem, I was told it was that the button on the headphones was too sensitive, so as I never use it I ripped the button off.
It isn't nearly as bad but still does it sometimes.
My friend with the same phone says that this fixed his though.
I think I need to have another go at it, see if I can stop it properly.
Ok, so I pulled the cover from the button on the headphones and ripped out all of the metal button that is attached to the board inside.
It's certainly working so far.
headphones HELP PLEASE!!!
hey guys i picked a pair of headphones from the store they fit my htc daimond and all but wen i plug them in nuthing happens wen i plug ionto to my razr or slvr they work fine is there an app that can help change this or something please help
HTC headphones auto dial problem finally solved!!!!
guys,I am using HTC Touch Pro2,I have same problem when headphone is plugged into HTC touch pro2;
Description of symptom:
Sometimes when you touch or move the wires of headphone,the phone will automatically dial back the first number in your call hisory (it's not "contacts list" as this poster said),the problem is not stable,when you deliberately fiddle with the wires of headphone hoping to find out what is the problem,it doesnt auto dial,while when you casually try to adjust the position of the wires to make yourself comfortable,it auto dials!
People completely have no idea what is going on,like it's a ghost behind it.
I initially believed that maybe the movement of the wires shakes the USB slot,which triggers internal electronic touching or somthing.
Like others,I checked whether there is some button along the wires of headphone,I found none,thus this mystery remains forever.
However,the other day,suddenly I did find a button in the wire. Now pls look at your HTC headphone,the middle of the black box(where two wires are jointed) is the button! the cover of this box is clickable, pls try to click it sveral times,the phone will auto dial.
it is now clear that this clickable cover (button) is specifically designed to auto dial back the call when you use headphone.
The button is so sensitive that even small touch will make it execute.
I had the same problem
I had this annoying problem and i sent my phone in service. I got a new pair of headphones and after some time (~1 year) same problem occured. I think this are the crappiest headphones i ever seen . THX HTC ) anyone found any good headphones (not necessarily original) that I can buy?
same problem
Had the same problem. It's caused by faulty wiring in the headphones. Mine do the calling when the wire at the end of the connector gets wiggled into certain positions (i.e. when I keep it in my pocket or in my hand while running). It's really annoying especially since this is my 3rd set in as many months that has this problem.
I've also noticed that Orange is selling them at a quarter of the price they had in December. I'm guessing they're trying to get rid of them since the new models from htc come with standard headphone jacks.
Only sure fire solution to the problem is getting a new pair.
Same here.
There are other threads about this problem.
Still looking for a solution like, let's say a registry hack that disables the headset button...

Electric shocks though earphones???

OK - stay with me here - am not mad...
I have an HTC Touch Diamond, the official doc stand and the official multi-audio cable so I can use the official headphones and charge at the same time whilst docked. It works well.
However, I swear it feels like I am getting the occasional very small electric shock in my right ear. Only happens every now and then but along with the tick tick sound I swear I can feel it.
Not painful - just uncomfortable.
I sound like I am going mad - anyone else found this???? I know if I return to HTC they'll more than likely just send it right back to me - iI have found no way to replicate it - it just happens once in a while when on a call.
Rich
Must be just the static. Relax.
whoa.. that sounds weird...
i wonder if it could be the plug itself... the mini usb to charge the phone is the same port for the earphones... the actual connectors in the plug are quite small so I'd imagine there'd be little tolerance for any movement.
Is there any chance that the earphone plug is moving slightly (like when ur running or walking) and contacting the connectors for that are used for charging instead of the audio output connectors?
oh..well
i experience something different
when i connect my Diamond to my Mac i get a light electric shock through the metal part of my diamond i do understand that it must be a problem with the laptop as when i connect it to the charger i dont get it.
but no other device that i connect gives me this problem..i connect a metal covered portable HDD with the same cable..dont know whats going wrong
It happened to me when I use to have the Kaiser...uncomfortable...would mainly occur when I would be using it sitting down (while it's charging), then standing up and touching like a counter...FREAKED ME OUT.
rofl guys i have yet to replicate this but this is hillarious! im sorry to hear this.

Phone stuck in "headphone mode" (PLEASE HELP)

For somereason, my phone is stuck in Headphone mode.
like on the top corner, it shows that my phone is still in headphone state.
the problem is that even when my headphone is unplugged my phone is still in that state...
...meaning that, without my headphones plugged in, the other party cannot hear me and i cannot hear them.
i tried soft and hard resetting the phone, but nothing works.
Everything else is working phone, it just that i cannot make a call, answer a call, listen to music without my headphone....
Any help or tips is greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot!!
it already happend to my phone.. what i did is i connect the headset again and did remove my battery and remove the headset then turned on the phone again and the headset icon disappears.
if your problem still continues, i guess you should go to sony ericsson for replacement it seems your jack is grounded or alike. i heard that the jack is somewhat tight and could put a groove in you headset male jack.
PROBLEM SOLVED....
http://www.portability.nl/windows-m...artphone-stuck-in-headset-or-car-profile.html
apparently its a hardward problem...
I had the same problem. This is what i did put your headset back in turn windows media player on now start a song and pull out the headset. Now it should get out of headset mode. Thats what has been working for me twice.
The other thing to watch for too, and this was a big problem with the older model HTC/SPV Devices, is that the detection switch inside the socket gets stuck.
I had this happen many times on my various SPV's up until HTC Started producing models where the headphones plugged into the mini USB.
If it does happen to be the switch getting stuck, you can try plugging in the headset and wiggling it about a bit, or i found that a wooden cocktail stick was a rather good device, to just poke in and rattle about a little bit.

the stylus is good too.
Hi there,
got the same problem. Tried everything, soft- and hard-reset, cleaned the connector with some alcohol....
Just before i got in the mood to open the case to have a deeper look at the connector, i stumbled over here
This is what i did put your headset back in turn windows media player on now start a song and pull out the headset. Now it should get out of headset mode. Thats what has been working for me twice.

This also worked for me
As a conclusion, i think there are several reasons (as usual ) that lead to this problem.
It may partly rely on the connector itself, e.g. bad "on" resistance of the contacts or mechanical twisted in any way.
Maybe some of the internal pull-up resistors are to weak also.
Additionally the software driver may have some issues, to indicate the "plug out" properly.
I also had such issue on HTC universal once upon a time.
It was also partly software related. In other words some "plug-in-plug-out" loops while playing some music solved the issue on that device.
Anyway, this maybe called another weird bug on a winmob platform.
Thanks for the hint again!!!
Best regards,

It's me again
I wonder if these headphone problems had gone with the latest firmware.
With R1AA017 the "headphone mode" issue could be reproduced a 1000 times.
1. Today screen, plug in the headphone
2. plug out headphone, headphone symbol stays active
3. plug in headphone again and start WM player
4. start some music, plug out headphone, symbol is gone, sound from the speaker
EDIT:
As it seems with R2AA006 the "headphone mode" issue is gone.
1. Today screen, plug in the headphone, headphone symbol appears
2. plug out headphone, headphone symbol disappears
Works as it should!
Anyway, please report if you ever got these problems and what kind of firmware you are using.
Let's try to concentrate on stock images (R2... , R3...), otherwise this would get very confusing
Cheers,
scholbert
sent it back for repair ... this happened to me twice and i sent it back for repair and the problem was with the headphone not the phone itself
Hi it happened to me as well. so after few times i was pi.... off and i send it to back to SE repair centre. and i also claim a crack in case. and believe or not they fix it in 12 days. That means SE knows those problems very well. my advise is dont be shy and send it there , they will fix it without any hassle.
try to drain the battery and charge it back up.
I also sent it back. After 5 weeks the idiots at SE Service returned it unrepaired, charged me 40 €, and claimed that the phone was once opened (it was not).
Will now buy an HTC or Nokia. Never ever again an SE.
It Got Solved
Hi It's very simple take your stylus and insert it into the headphone socket and move very gently, It will solve the problem.
For me it had worked always.
Weird but works
Hi all
ive been having the same prob here ... :
phone remains in headset mode even after jack is unplugged.
have been trying:
turning registry entry
blowing (worked at very rare times )
stylus/ pin playing ..
till now, no good solution
my request:
is there a way ( cab install, registry hack) so as to disable the whole of the headset.. its ok if i dont use it anymore.. ! i want it software, like some sort of software to disable the headset module completely ...
awaiting reply.
thanks & Regards,
Yeah I think there is a way. If you search for when I posted about this last year I think someone says how to do it in the comments.
Lots of people seem to be claiming that software tricks can solve this problem. If that worked for you, that's a co-incidence. Even re-flashing a different ROM won't sort out a mechanical fault. Just go get a safety pin.
my experience about the headphone problem
First time, when happaned I was crazy, because I coudn't answer a call and the phone looks like was broken. I suggest,(not a big deal) to close the player program prior you disconnet you headphone or in radio panel mode, to swicth to speaker listenig first and then plug off headphone. Nothing else, don't worry
Well, since I'm using a new phone I've decided I'm going to open my phone up to manually fix this problem as for me, what happened was, a very tiny screw got lodged within the headphone jack. I managed to get the screw out but I think I damaged the connector responsible for signaling that a headset is plugged in.
I have one problem however, I dont have the security screwdrivers nessary to gain access so I'm wondering, if anyone know any tricks to open the phone up. I've heard I can use locktite to bond the screw to whatever I want to use however that would be something I'd consider if I cant think of anything else. Until then I'll try using a screw driver just large enough to wedge itself in place and unscrew but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please if you would be so kind.
In the meantime if I make any headway I'll let you know what happens. (Does anyone want to know anything if I do open it up?).
Ok I opened it up... Let me tell you it certainly was difficult. My phone had suffered the cracking problem which made it somewhat hard to take apart without it falling to bits but I managed nevertheless.
As I peeled away parts of the phone to get to the small headphone jack, I instantly found the problem, the little clip that performs as the switch to headset mode was buckled... I got some really tiny pliers and I managed to re-bend it however, the clip wasn't touching the contact switch! *RAGE*. So I play around with it a little more and realise hang on... it's moving too much, I then noticed that the clip was actually cracked *ANGER*.
So I decided... ok, off goes the clip. I permanently soldered the connection instead and hey presto, no more headset mode, of course this means, I can never use headset mode but that's not a problem for me.
If anyone wants any help, please feel free to ask . I managed to give the keyboard a clean also! (No more double presses or keys that dont respond either!).
With this goddamn problem, is it possible to connect stereo bluetooth with sound?

Answering the last question: YES it should work as bluetooth audio has nothing to do with the headphone jack and I normally used bluetooth headset with the headphone mode stucked
coming back to topic It seems it is depending on case more soft or hardware-related. in my case it was rather hardware, no mediaplayer/radio method helping and putting stylus in helped only two times.
So I used compressed air to blow through the jack and then cleaned it with the earbud head/material ONLY (as the bud does not fit in) on a wooden stick (but then you might have hard times to pull the rest of the budhead out)
Anyways it worked, so far after many tries to make sure it doesn't get stucked !
I guess in future WD40 may be even better
Man this phone is so good and yet so full of bugs !!

(HELP) xperia stuck in headset mode

its been a few months now and still no parts for my xperia so i cant get it fixed.
i have been wondering if its possible for someone to make a cab to turn off/on hardware headset jack or forcibly use handset speaker when in a call orsomething?
BTW i have tried all possible fixes using the "search feature"
Are you describing the problem where even though there is nothing plugged into the 3.5mm jack, the XPERIA thinks you've got something plugged in? If so, I'm having the same issue and have found that a quick way to fix this is to take the stylus and wiggle it about at the bottom of 3.5mm jack. This clears it up.
well yeah that worked before but my jack is kinda broken but working
some of the metal in the jack is really loose and the jack has a small broken part.
I had the same issue where my headphone jack reported that there was a constant headphone plugged in, it happened after I plugged a damaged headphone port into the phone.
It took many hours of research and a very intricate and careful dissasembly to fix the issue. I meant to take photos, but my primary camera ( my X1 ) was in pieces at the time..
Anyway, there's a little connector inside the headphone jack that makes contact with a pad, closing a circut, if the connector is bent too far out of the way, it doesn't make contact, and the phone thinks there is a headset inserted.
If your connector is actually broken, you'll have to jerry-rig a wire or something between the two plates to force it to know there's nothing in, but then you lose all headphone functions.
I had to bend the strip of copper to -exactly- how it should be, and it worked out for me, my phone is back how it used to be.
I hope this is of some help to someone, if it happens to me again, I'll document it properly, unfortunately I was in a rush this time, so I didn't have time to prepare properly, I went gung-ho and ripped it to pieces to get it right again.
what about a "software" method of fixing this problem?
doesn't windows mobile support turning headset off, from the registry, for example?
while using radio you can still redirect the sound to the main speaker, (this option is available on the radio panel) something like this feature can help us, i think..
Same problem here. I have tried some suggestion over here but didn't work. You may try it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4485113#post4485113
I'm tired with annoying wire headset and now using a BT headset to be able make/receive calls.
Hope somebody can help us before we send back for repairing.
It happened to me, simply insert a clean "cotton buds" and pull it out again. I think, a dirt just got stuck causing some hardware short circuit or something. Don't know....but it definitely worked for me. I have tried those hardresets, softresets, tweaks and unfortunately none of them worked.
try to drain the battery and charge it back up.
Sometimes would be nice to combine some of the threads because they refer to the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529449
Anyway from my knowledge there are two reasons for this problem.
You may guess
1. Hardware:
This issue had been described very often. Of course the jack is a delicate piece of hardware, which could be damaged physically due to some bad plug or violent force.
2. Software:
It's obvious that the connection is controlled by a piece of software.
I realized that the problem had gone with the latest update.
Maybe it would be helpful to know about the firmware version you got on your phone.
P.S.: Anyone out there who may add this issue to the wiki?

Have to unplug and replug headphones at start of every call - Normal?

Hi all,
I have an Xperia X1. I don't use the integrated microphone 3.5mm cable that came with the phone - just my regular Sennheiser PX-200II headphones. I've found that for almost all calls, in order for the other side to hear me, if the call starts with the headphones plugged in, I need to unplug the headphones and plug them back in and then they will be able to hear me fine. Same if I am using it in my car, hooked up through the 3.5mm cable to my stereo.
My guess is that as a default it seems like it assumes the mic connector is there and until the unplug the other side cannot hear me? And then on unplug/replug, it seems to detect properly that it is not there and uses the onboard Mic on the phone.
I've tried different custom ROMs but I've observed this with many different ones - I'm wondering if it might be a hardware issue.
Does anyone else have this happen to them? It doesn't happen for every single call, but it does so often, though when it does and doesn't seems quite random to me.
I don't usually make new threads, there's a couple times in the past year I've tried to search around and find information on this but I couldn't find anything - maybe I'm unique or not - but any reply is welcome. I think I may have found something similar with a different kind of phone (here) suggesting there are other discussions on this and maybe a hardware fix and potentially a software fix - but nothing on the Xperia in particular. Is this just something everyone has and they carry the mic cable with them all the time - I can do that if it is, though I have to say my headphone cable is much longer than I like already and any alternate fix would be better... thanks all, any reply welcome.
Thanks,
Peter
the hardware jack 3.5 mm in the x1 was diferrent from other 3.5mm... because in the x1 it has swicht inside the jack and if u use the cable not for the X1.. it will broken the swicht.. for a long time use.. its will affect... sometime event the cable already pull up from the x1 jack.. the logo off the headphone in windows dont want disepear...
